Nandyala By-poll: YSRCP Gives Shock To TDP

YSRCP president Jagan Mohan Reddy appears to have shock both the TDP groups led by Shilpa Mohan Reddy and Akhila Priya by announcing the candidature of Rajagopal Reddy for Nandyala by-poll. He is father-in-law of Brahmananda Reddy who is supposed to be the TDP candidate.

Hyderabad: Nandyala by-poll is surely turning into an interesting battle in coming days with the main parties adopting tactics over announcement of candidates.

At the party plenary in Kurnool, Katasani Rami reddy declared that Rajgopla Reddy will contest the Nandyala by-poll on YSRCP ticket. This is a rude shock to Akhila Priya who was trying to make the contest unanimous by making use of the sentiment in the name of her deceased father Bhuma Nagi Reddy.

As per ruling party sources, Brahmananda Reddy’s name is as good as confirmed as a TDP candidate. This move by YSRCP could not be digested by TDP as Rajgopal reddy who is Nandyala YSRC in-charge is father-in-law of TDP’s candidate Brahmananda Reddy.

On the flip side, this move has come as a shock to Shilpa Mohan Reddy also. If Naidu denies ticket to him, Shilpa is ready to plunge into YSRCP. But Jagan kept a check to both Shilpa and Bhuma groups by bringing Rajgopal into picture with one shot two birds.

This by-poll is taking twists and turns and the battle will be more interesting and the result will give the winning party an upper hand in Kurnool district politics as far as the 2019 elections are concerned.
